I love shopping but then again what woman doesn’t! It’s that time of year where everyone is going to be out and about getting those Christmas lists complete. I have written about a few of my favorite stores on my blog. Below are some of my stores visits. Take a peek at what some of the stores have to offer.
I love flowers which is not a shocker to anyone who has been reading my blog! But when I stumbled on former fashion designer Carolyne Roehm my love for flowers was taken to a different level.
Carolyne is a wonderful interior designer also! I love her home and the sense of carefree elegance that she has. I can’t wait to get a copy of her newest book “Flowers”. Below are some photos and two videos. The first one is a video of Carolyne doing some flower arranging in her home and the second video is of her flower shopping with Susanna Salk.
I love both videos and watch them over and over. Enjoy!!
Now this is my kinda of store. For those of you who read my blog you can see that I am a big fan of china! I especially love teacups! I don’t know why but I do and Vintage Rose has a lot of them!
The prices are really reasonable. I only paid $10 for my vintage earrings and about $9 for the room sprays. The lady who runs it was so pleasant. Oh my gosh, she was a sweetheart! If you visit Brown County please make sure you stop by and see Vintage Rose. See my photos below. Enjoy!!!
I love climbing into a nice cozy bed every night. But what really makes it nice is when your bed smells wonderful. Over the last several years, I have always sprayed my bed with some sort of linen spray. I especially love anything floral.
I follow a Youtube channel called BellisVintage. A few weeks ago they posted a video called “the Personal Arcadia of Sir John Richardson”. I loved this video. It is a tour of his home. I have watched it several times already. Also Heather Clawson of Habitually Chic wrote a blog entry about him, see here. You take a look at the video and see why, sheer elegance……
The legendary fashion designer Oscar de la Renta died on October 20, 2014. I think we all loved Oscar like he was our very own personal designer. I for one loved his wonderful attitude toward elegance and pleasure. I followed his channel on YouTube (see here).
I mentioned before on here that I loved the book by Ted Kennedy Watson called “Style and Simplicity”. On page 102 he mentioned how he loves “Multiples of Things”. He says the following:
THINK OF STRENGTH IN NUMBERS on this one. A few bowls hung up in a row is pretty, but quite a few bowls hung up in a row is even prettier. Multiples of one type of object are such a strong visual. Think of a fireplace mantel covered with candlesticks. When you use a good number of the same object, the eye looks at the collective whole as one, and you can create a really stunning display of items. Think also of a dining table filled with clear drinking glasses, each glass filled with a tulip. From the simple to the grand, mass a collection together of awesome visual impact.
I couldn’t agree more and he is right. When I see multiples of things I do see it as one. How clever! So when I have two or three vases filled with flowers together I no longer feel like it’s too much. I feel like this looks really grand…. Thank you Ted!
